PROGRAMMABLE, CHOPPERSTABILIZED, HALL-EFFECT SWITCH

The A3150JLT and A3150JUA programmable switches provide tooth/valley recognition in large gear-tooth sensing applications. Each sensor consists of a single element, chopper-stabilized Hall-effect IC that can be programmed to the desired magnetic switch point, optimizing sensor airgap and timing accuracy performance after final packaging. The small package can be easily assembled and used in conjunction with a wide variety of gear/target shapes and sizes. The two devices differ only in package style. The sensing technology used for this sensor is Hall-effect based. The sensor incorporates a single-element Hall IC that switches in response to magnetic signals created by a ferrous target. The programmability of the circuit eliminates magnet and system offsets such as those caused by tilt yet provides zero-speed detection capabilities without the associated running jitter inherent in classical digital solutions. A proprietary dynamic offset cancelation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock, reduces the residual offset voltage, which is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependancies, and thermal stress. This technique produces devices that have an extremely stable quiescent output voltage, are immune to mechanical stress, and have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. Many problems normally associated with low-level analog signals are minimized by having the Hall element and amplifier in a single chip. Output precision is obtained by internal gain adjustments during the manufacturing process and operate-point programming in the users application. This sensor system is ideal for use in gathering speed, position, and timing information using gear-tooth-based configurations. The A3150JLT/JUA are particularly suited to those applications that require accurate duty cycle control or accurate edge detection. The lower vibration sensitivity also makes these devices extremely useful for transmission speed sensing.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Chopper-Stabilized Technique. These devices use a proprietary dynamic offset cancellation technique, with an internal high-frequency clock to reduce the residual offset voltage of the Hall element that is normally caused by device overmolding, temperature dependencies, and thermal stress. This technique produces devices that have an extremely stable quiescent Hall output voltage, are immune to thermal stress, and have precise recoverability after temperature cycling. This technique will also slightly degrade the device output repeatability. The Hall element can be considered as a resistor array similar to a Wheatstone bridge. A large portion of the offset is a result of the mismatching of these resistors. The chopperstabilizing technique cancels the mismatching of the resistors by changing the direction of the current flowing through the Hall plate and Hall voltage measurement taps, while maintaining the Hall-voltage signal that is induced by the external magnetic flux. The signal is, then, captured by a sample-and-hold circuit. Operation. The output of these devices switches low (turns ON) when a magnetic field (south pole) perpendicular to the Hall sensor exceeds the operate point threshold (BOP). After turn-ON, the output is capable of sinking 25 mA and the output voltage is VOUT(SAT). When the magnetic field is reduced below the release point (BRP), the device output goes high (turns OFF). The difference in the magnetic operate and release points is the hysteresis (Bhys) of the device. This built-in hysteresis allows clean switching of the output even in the presence of external mechanical vibration and electrical noise. Applications. It is strongly recommended that an external bypass capacitor be connected (in close proximity to the Hall sensor) between the supply and ground of the device to reduce both external noise and noise generated by the chopper-stabilization technique. The simplest form of magnet that will operate these devices is a bar magnet with the south-seeking pole towards the branded surface of the device. Many other methods of operation are possible. Extensive applications information on magnets and Hall-effect sensors is also available in the Allegro Electronic Data Book AMS-702 or Application Note 27701, or

PROGRAMMING PROTOCOL
The A3150JLT and A3150JUA operate points are programmed by serially addressing the device through the supply terminal (pin1). After the correct operate point is determined, the device programming bits are selected and then a lock set to prevent any further (accidental) programming. Program Enable. To program the device, a sequence of pulses is used to activate/enable the addressing mode as shown in figure 1. This sequence of a VPP pulse, at least seven VPH pulses, and a VPP pulse with no supply interruptions, is designed to prevent the device from being programmed accidentally (for example, as a result of noise on the supply line).

Address Determination. The operate point is adjustable in 64 increments. With the appropriate target or gear* in position, the 64 switch points are sequentially selected (figure 2) until the required operate point is reached. Note that the difference between the operate point and the release point (hysteresis) is a constant for all addresses. Set-Point Programming. After the desired set-point address is determined (0 through 63), each bit of the equivalent binary address is programmed individually. For example, as illustrated in figure 3, to program address code 5 (binary 000101), bits 1 and 3 need to be programmed. Each bit is programmed during the wide VPP pulse and is not reversible. Lock Programming. After the desired set point is programmed, the program lock is then activated (figure 4) to prevent further programming of the device.
